This kind of thing bums me out. It feels like there’s no such thing as institutional memory at WotC.

I would try to do it both as a DM and as a player. For example, I used an effete French accent when my players encountered Sembians in our Realms game because I wanted the Sembians to come off as simultaneously arrogant, conceited, and offended by everything the characters said or did. I...
